When should you take off jewelry?

1 min read
Quick answer: Remove jewelry when: in chlorinated water, exercising, sleeping, cooking, and applying perfume. Rule: Put it on last, take it off first.

Jewellery should be removed before sleeping, during sports, swimming, cooking, and applying cosmetics. These situations cause the most damage to metal, settings, and stones.

Always remove during

  • Chlorine water (swimming pool): Irreversibly attacks gold alloys and silver
  • Sports: Impacts and sweat damage settings and dull the shine
  • Sleeping: Mechanical abrasion, snagging in hair or bedding
  • Cooking: Heat can loosen the bond of glued-in stones
  • Perfume and lotion: Always apply cosmetics first, then jewellery

The mnemonic rule

Put on last, take off first. This simple rule significantly extends the lifespan of jewellery – and reduces cleaning effort.
